Justice is still sought ten months after the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, known as Mohbad, died. Mohbad, 27, died on 12 September 2023 under controversial circumstances. Almost a year after his death, there appear to be conflicting reports over the cause of his death.
However, a recent development seems to have brought hope to the family, and his fans are seeking answers. A court has finally granted his family permission to conduct a second autopsy. This decision comes after the family expressed dissatisfaction with the initial autopsy results, which were deemed inconclusive.
After several clamours for justice to ascertain the cause of his death, his body was exhumed on 21 September 2023 for an autopsy by the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH). The autopsy, which commenced in September 2023, released on 7 June, failed to determine the cause of death. The inconclusiveness of the autopsy results was attributed to body decomposition and potential reactions to medications he received before his death.
